Alt alt: What was the best birthday or Christmas present you've ever received? I'm trying to source a non-shit pirate costume for my kid and am going to do her two small paintings. The latter is going to be easier than the former, it seems.

Mine was an original copy of Hendrix's first LP, a USB turntable and a massive Pink Fairies poster.
Thanks for asking.

Does she own any Hendrix LPs yet?
Perhaps it is time to start her collection?

She had an 'Electric Baby' babygro as a baby
and I made her watch Jimi Plays Monterey a while back. She loved it, started pretending to smash up her guitar and everything. I love that kid.

Alt alt: SAS Rescue Kit, containing: balaclava, periscope, dagger, machine gun & some other stuff I can't remember. As I was a seven year old boy when I received this, it may not be suitable for a four year old girl.

I'm in a bad mood.
I sent something special delivery this morning and have lost the receipt. I need to know it gets there safely or I'll drive myself mad. That along with other things has made today rather shit, the only thing getting me through is that I'll be back in London and amongst happy vibes in two weeks and one day. Hurry up time, bloody hurry up I tell ya.

I suspect you're premenstrual.
Or you're just coming down from a Jeffstock-ralated alcohol buzz.

alt: fuck you, you started it.

Alt alt: my laptop probably.

Did you want to find a shop-bought costume or have someone make one? Does she want to be a generic 'pirate' or a lady pirate? Actually, the age she is, she could get away with a unisex costume really, couldn't she? I would imagine her idea of what a pirate looks like might be somewhat different to the 'Birthdays' idea of what a pirate looks like.

I assumed The Birthdays were a girl band who had a video where they dressed as sexy pirates
I was saddened to discover this was not the case.

it's a shit chain of party stuff that sells 'comedy' fancy dress costumes.

No idea, but I've just lolled quite heartily at something a colleague has spotted on the DM website
It's talking about Sacha Baron Cohen's new film, and shows a picture of him with soldiers backing him.

The DM have reported this as "In an intro to the latest trailer, the bearded character, played by Cohen, is seen sitting on a chair surrounded by gun-wielding plebs."

That would depend on how unclean your skiddies were...
...there comes a point when a washing machine is the most valuable commodity imaginable.

So much easier than having to carry it across town to the nearest laundromat.

Certainly the one that has made the most difference, yep
I stopped receiving presents when I turned 18, unless I really want something. I just ask for money now, it's easier.

A sit in a real WW2 Spitfire. I got to hold the stick, press the trigger and make "DakkaDakkaDakka" noises while imaginging I was strafing Poundland in Harlow.

Are you only saying that because you can only remember your last birthday?

No, the present was ace
I can reel off a list of the shittiest presents I've received, which include a stone, a plastic cat, a book on planes my ex wife spent a whole £5 on and the video of Seasame Street my parents bought me when I was nine. I was expecting a Lego trainset. Cunts.

My shittest presents seem to involve dr Who.
The reasoning behind it seems to be: she loves dr Who, she'll love any old shit with Dr Who on it.

Would be awesome if the TARDIS was life sized...
...and hypothetically speaking you could go back in time to 1990 and warn yourself not to get off with Ann Martin at Gary's party because her braces hurt.

And she'll attempt to wank off your mate while you're off in the kitchen pouring her another glass of cinzano.

I had a toy M16 when I was eight, it fired caps too. All my mates had these little pistol type cap guns and I had the daddy.

Lots of non-pc army type lols.

I also had an M-16 with detachable cartridge

everything is getting on your wick
Because you are an irascible, elderly assclown with the cultural tastes of a 16 year old quender who has just 'found himself' and gone on a sausage mission for the first time.

Stop this gayness immediately
When I take in to account the amount of time spent using it and the amount of cool points it gave me at school I would have to say my ZX Spectrum 48k which I received as a birthday gift from my Grandfather.

Have extended my stay in Brum for a week or possibly two, which hugely takes the move pressure off - even more than the very generous offer of a sofa bed in London from a top B3tan did.

Dunno, I get this some days, it's personality cancer or something.
Alt: OK

AltAlt: A 'Swiss Champ' 30 bladed Swiss Army Knife I got for my 18th, it was pretty much my constant companion for 18 years until I wore it out and brought myself a new one for my 36th. It's pretty much become an extension of me and I hate flying because I have to leave it behind.
